Do changes to slide or title masters become permanent changes in Powerpoint
so that those design changes you made to the masters are the default
everytime you make a new presentation from then on? I'm too chicken to test
it out and see. I don't want to be stuck with that design from then on.

Thanks in advance

No, changes to the master will affect only that template. They affect every
presentation, if you open and change the template blank.pot.

Best regards,
Ute
